NOTE:
7a: Not all steps have to be present to award full marks. For example, the second method mark can
still be awarded if the answer does not include that step.
7b: Award full marks for k = 6, k = 10 seen. Award full marks for valid and complete alternative
method (e.g. expanding (x – a)2 comparing coefficients and solving for k).
7c: An alternative method is acceptable. For example, students could differentiate to find that the
turning point of the graph of y = f(x) is at (8, 1), and then show that it is a minimum. The minimum
can be shown by using properties of quadratic curves or by finding the second differential. Students
must explain (a sketch will suffice) that this means that the graph lies above the x-axis and reach the
appropriate conclusion.
